I have made a custom report which allows me to print a 4 x 6 report on photo paper which you can see here:

If you notice on the label furthest to the left the name is very close to both sides.  I have changed some of the names so that they are shorter but don't want to have to name beers based on what will fit on my labels.  What I would like to be able to do is somehow force the $NAME variable to do a word wrap if it is too long.  Is this possible?  Here is my code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>

<body>
<table width="400" height="600" border="0" cellspacing="0">
  <tr>
    <td width="20%" bgcolor="#000000"><div align="center"><b><strong><font color="#999999" size="+2" face="Copperplate Gothic Bold">Now
        Serving :</font></strong></b></div></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td height="152" bgcolor="#999999"><div align="center">
<table width="80%">
          <tr>
            <td><strong><nobr><b><font size="+2" face="Copperplate Gothic Bold">
              <div align="center">$NAME</div>
              </font></b></nobr> </strong>
              <div align="center"><strong><font size="+2"></font></strong></div>
              </td>
          </tr>
        </table>
        <p><strong><font size="+2">

          <font size="+1">Style:</font>

          <nobr><font size="+1">$STYLE_NAME</font></nobr></font>

          <nobr></nobr> <nobr></nobr></strong></p>
      </div></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td height="102" bgcolor="#999999"><div align="center">
        <p><strong><font size="+2">Brewed On</font></strong><font size="+2">

          $DATE</font></p>
        <p><font size="+2"><strong>ABV </strong>$ABV</font></p>
      </div></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td height="180" bgcolor="#999999"><div align="center"><img src="file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/Owner/Desktop/barley.jpg" width="81" height="120"></div></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td bgcolor="#000000"> </td>
  </tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
 
Hmm,
  About the only thing I can think of is to embed the name within a table cell that is narrow enough so it forces a word wrap if the name is too large.

Cheers!

You have <nobr> causing your problem. <nobr> means "no break" which was forcing everything to be on the same line.

You have:

<td><strong><nobr><font size="+2" face="Copperplate Gothic Bold">
              <div align="center">$NAME</div>

Change to:

<td><strong><font size="+2" face="Copperplate Gothic Bold">
              <div align="center">$NAME</div>

I tested this and it solves your problem.

Nice template idea. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers!

John
